Description

Lobster pots are stacked along the edge of the water at mason mount Park, looking across the harbor and over the railroad tracks (the embankment runs across the middle of the card). The details are oddly blurred and at time outlined, but he structure of the old Oddfellow's Town Hall with its exterior chimney can be discerned at right.
